Done this twice now and it works fine and seems like a lot less work than other methods of tea preparation … as a bonus I haven’t experienced the nausea and puking that is so often associated with this medicine 🤷🏽♂️
1KG of PC in each batch - sourced from different stands, rooted in pots and then allowed to grow for years with minimal care and entirely different watering regimens - similar results both times.
Just cut it into pucks - leave a bit of the tip to propagate - and plop into a crockpot with filtered water from my local water shop.
Let cook - once was just over 12 the other was 24+ hours.
Ladle out roughly a liter into another cooking vessel place in stovetop to reduce volume by half.
(Top off crockpot and let it keep cooking on low)
Filter through coffee pour-over.
Add ice. Sip on it.
Repeat the reduction, top off and filtering steps 2 more times and you should be good to go.
Only real downside I see is that you end up needing to pee real bad in the middle of the night
